Default Real or fake Skunk2 Cam Gear?

I swiped this from the junkyard today, it was on a ZC vtec (probably should have taken the whole engine.) I can't tell if this is legit or it's an eBay knockoff. I figure it could be an older version cam gear, seeing how Skunk2 updated all it's stuff to the 'pro series'. I don't even know if this can fit a Y7/Y8 cam, but for 10 bucks I should be able to sell it and get my money back if it's of no use to me.

Can you use it? Sure, but...88-95 and 96-00 cam key way indexing relative to mechanical TDC are different on SOHC D's.

The majority of cam gear makers today still don't get this right.

I'd sell it unless you can referance it against a stock gear to confirm it's correct for the cam you intend to use.

Ahh, I didn't think about referencing the key way. I'll check that, thanks.
